La Bonne Planque is totally unique. Staying here was one of the best experiences we have had on our Europe trip. The setting right on the canal was beautiful and the perfect stop for cyclists on the Canal du Midi. Our host made us feel so welcome. We had delicious local food and wine for our evening meal and a lovely breakfast.

We loved the location on the side of the beautiful canal. The host was wonderful. The breakfast was just enough to get us going in the morning. You just need to realize the building is very old and the rooms would not be 5 stars. Everything was spotless and we had a good night’s sleep.
this is a great location set in beautiful country side .great host she toke the trouble to come and get us when the satnav could not find the location .lovely evening meal and breakfast.really nice people
C'est la deuxième fois que je descends à la bonne Planque. Le cadre et l'accueil y sont exceptionnels. L'établissement a changé de propriétaire entretemps mais l'âme de la maison est resté la même. J'ai autant apprécié mon deuxième séjour que le premier. Les chiens bien éduqués et sociabilisés y sont les bienvenus. J'ai pu longer le canal du Midi avec mon toutou et cela laisse des souvenirs inoubliables. La PLANQUE est devenu mon port d'attache à Castelnaudary. Merci pour les 48 heures passées chez vous.
Si vous en avez marre des hotels sans âme, qui se ressemblent tous et sont dans les zones industrielles... alors descendez à la Bonne planque au bord d'une écluse du canal du midi. Le cadre est magique, le service se fait avec une gentillesse naturelle et les glaces à tomber par terre. Bref, j'y reviendrai...
Très bon accueil, endroit atypique, calme et chaleureux, joli cadre au bort du canal du midi. Jolie chambre et literie confortable.
Les hôtes sont très gentilles et agréables avec de bons conseils.
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir si l'occasion se présente
La propriétaire nous a parfaitement accueillis, présente, discrète, efficace. Nous avons retenu l'option cassoulet au dîner car beaucoup d'établissements sont fermés le lundi et cela nous a permis de rester sur place. Merci ! Par contre nous avons trouvé le plat de cassoulet avec saucisse de Toulouse et un petit manchon de canard à 25€ vraiment excessif.
En tout cas une étape à recommander !!
Une belle occasion de prendre le temps de vivre au rythme de l'écluse, et de passer la nuit dans un lieu magnifique! Merci pour l'accueil bienveillant et discret, et pour ce lieu authentique!
Notre séjour à été très agréable, au bord du canal, dans la nature. Nous y avons bien mangé, les petits-déjeuners sont très bien servis. L'accueil est chaleureux et les gérantes très sympathiques. Les chambres ont une belle deco.
Excellent accueil et service irréprochable!
Cadre enchanteur au calme: vieilles pierres, campagne, paysage au bord de l'eau.
Sourire bienveillant et permanent des hôtes.
Non c’è’ aria condizionata ma un ventilatore, ed il wc (privato) era fuori dalla nostra camera. Ma qui tutto è’ un concentrato di charme, curato e pulito, sulla riva del Canal di Midi, dove siamo stati bene e sicuramente torneremo se ripasseremo da queste parti. Abbiamo anche cenato bene. Prezzi più’ che onesti.

Très bon accueil et disponibilité de la propriétaire
Nous avons apprécié d’avoir pu accéder à notre chambre dès notre arrivée (avant l’heure prévue) après une journée de vélo !
